Abstract
Un instrument de mesurage comprend une enceinte portative (45) abritant un tambour (11) autour duquel est enroulée une corde ou une bande de mesurage flexible (10) passant par un arbre d'entraînement rotatif (15) pourvu de dents (16), dans lesquels s'engage un détecteur (24) servant de générateur d'impulsion pour un compteur électronique (27). Sont en outre prévus un détecteur de direction (21), destiné à produire un signal de comptage progressif ou dégressif, et une seconde roue de mesurage direct (30) présentant des dents (32) servant de générateur d'impulsion alimentant le même compteur (27).A measuring instrument comprises a portable enclosure (45) housing a drum (11) around which is wound a flexible measuring rope or strip (10) passing through a rotary drive shaft (15) provided with teeth (16), in which a detector (24) serving as a pulse generator for an electronic counter (27) engages. A direction detector (21) is also provided, intended to produce a progressive or decreasing counting signal, and a second direct measuring wheel (30) having teeth (32) serving as a pulse generator supplying the same counter ( 27).
